Space 1999 S01 E01-E08 1080p BluRay x265-skorpion
Reason for this release:
I've created this release because the only 1080p releases I could find were 80Gb for season 1 and 90Gb for season 2. Not everyone has unlimited bandwidth or hard drive space !
The releases I did find are encoded with x264 video and DTS 5.1 audio making each episode over 3Gb. Some episodes were missing, some were duplicates, and some had audio from a different episode. I have ripped mine from BluRay and encoded with x265 video and AAC 5.1 audio to reduce the filesize without reducing quality. Both seasons are being released in 3 parts of 8 episodes each to make the torrent files smaller and more manageable.
The BluRay has the episodes in "production order", I have numbered them in the order they were aired in UK, which is the same as the order on IMDb and TVDB
Synopsis
Space: 1999 centres on the plight of the inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha, a scientific research centre on the Moon. Humanity had been storing its nuclear waste in vast disposal sites on the far side of the Moon, but when an unknown form of magnetic radiation is detected, the accumulated waste reaches critical mass and causes a massive thermonuclear explosion on 13 September 1999. The force of the blast propels the Moon like an enormous booster rocket, hurling it out of Earth orbit and into deep space at colossal speed, thus stranding the 311 personnel stationed on Alpha. The runaway Moon, in effect, becomes the "spacecraft" on which the protagonists travel, searching for a new home. Not long after leaving Earth's Solar System, the wandering Moon passes through a black hole and later through a couple of "space warps" which push it even further out into the universe. During their interstellar journey, the Alphans encounter an array of alien civilizations, dystopian societies, and mind-bending phenomena previously unseen by humanity.
Ep1 Breakaway
Gerry Anderson commentary track included with this episode.
Commander John Koenig, the new commander of Moonbase Alpha, leads the investigation of a mysterious disease at the station and uncovers evidence of a far greater looming disaster.
Ep2 Force of Life
A wandering energy force inhabits the body of Alpha technician Anton Zoref, turning him into an energy absorbing being.
Ep3 Collision Course
After destroying an asteroid on a collision course with the moon, an even larger obstacle appears - an entire planet! On a recon mission, John Koenig encounters an inhabitant who convinces him- on the basis of faith- that the moon and the planet must collide. But no one else supports Koenig's stand.
Ep4 War Games
Moonbase Alpha is attacked and devastated by warships from a nearby planet. With half of its population dead Alpha can no longer survive. Commander Koenig and Dr. Russel go to the alien world to plead for the survivors, but the inhabitants wish no one to disturb their serene existence.
Ep5 Death's Other Dominion
On the ice world of Ultima Thule the Alphans encounter members of lost earth expedition who have achieved immortality- but at a price!
Ep6 Voyager's Return
The Alphans encounter the Voyager space probe that has been wandering the cosmos propelled by the Queller drive- a faulty engine system. Following the probe is a fleet of alien ships from a world devastated by the drive.
Ep7 Alpha Child
The Alphans' joy turns to horror when the first child born on the Alpha matures into a five year old in a matter of hours. This is only a prelude to the arrival of formless alien fugitives- who plan to inhabit Alpha's population.
Ep8 Dragon's Domain
Gerry Anderson commentary track included with this episode.
Discredited eagle pilot Tony Cellini is beset by recurring nightmares in which he was the only survivor of disastrous space mission. Now the moon is approaching the same set of circumstances that Cellini encountered.
Please do not tag or rehash this release as all that achieves is to dilute the file spread. Feel free to post this release elsewhere but please leave it as it is.
